*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review by Netgalley*
Freefall Summer is pure coming of age YA. The thing is that the main character is supposedly portrayed as a mature person, when let's face it, the first half of the book she was all whiny. Thankfully, the book gets more interesting as it progresses..
The thing that attracted me at first was the skydiving plot, so I was delighted when I saw that it delivered. It seriously made me want to try it at least once.

I tried to read this book THREE TIMES. I kept thinking I should like it, and yet I just didn't care enough to get past the 12% mark. I felt like this was a story I've read before.

Great read! Great characters and storyline. Loved this book!!

Interesting story but didn't really connect with the main character.

I liked the cover of Freefall Summer and I will admit that it was the sole reason I requested it from NetGalley. Later, I looked at it on Goodreads and saw that it had below three stars and I panicked a little. Another book that may be hard work to get through. I have to say though that I have no idea why it is rated low on Goodreads because I thought it was great.

It is the story of Clancy who has made it her life goal not to let her dad worry. Her mother passed away when she was six and since then here dad has tightened the reins on Clancy; rather than push against them she has allowed him to wrap her in cotton wool. Things start to come to a head when she starts to have bigger dreams than just living a humdrum life in her little town. She wants adventure, she wants to study in a university far away. More than anything she wants to discuss this with her dad but she still feels like she can’t.

Freefall Summer is a great coming-of-age story about learning to be grown up with your parents and crossing that invisible line of child to adult. It has wonderful family dynamics and a great storyline of breaking the mould that someone has set for you.

It was interesting to learn more about skydiving. It's a nice book, I think most teens will enjoy it. Personally, it wasn't one of my favorite reads. I couldn't relate to the characters.

This book was...fine. A fast read, cute story, but filled with forgettable characters and not one of my favorites.
